Route maps are essentially built around an "if then else(if)" logic. the point of their activation is the point of their inception.
therefore if you were to have a route-map such as: route-map eigrp_tag_igrp permit 10 match tag X set metric 10000 100 255 1 1500 and the redistribute statement: router igrp 100 redistribute eigrp 50 route-map eigrp_tag_igrp then the logic flow is: 1) take a route learned from eigrp 50 2)if the tag for that route is X then set the metric as stated and redistribute it into IGRP 100 3) else don't redistribute in this case, only those routes with a tag of X learned from eigrp 50 will be redistributed into igrp ( subject to the classfulness of the route ) sometimes it can be a little difficult to determine where exactly things happen in the various processes on a router. for example, linear redistribute seems not to occur at all, even if that does not seem logical. ( can't redistribute from rip to igrp to ospf an the same router, not and get anything coherent or predictable as a result ) however, in this case, the logic appears to be straightforward, so far as I can tell.
